Evalita 2011: the Frame Labeling over Italian Texts Task

The Frame Labeling over Italian Texts (FLaIT) task held within the EvalIta 2011 challenge is here described. It focuses on the automatic annotation of free texts according to frame semantics. Systems were asked to label all semantic frames and their arguments, as evoked by predicate words occurring in plain text sentences. Proposed systems are based on a variety of learning techniques and achieve very good results, over 80% of accuracy, in most subtasks.
